  • Nah they’re not actually all that big if you take into account what they’re designed to do. Maybe even a lil small. How do you expect to load pallets of construction materials in anything smaller? That is, after all, it’s intended use. Complain about SUV sizes because those definitely don’t have to be so big, but trucks are that size for good reason. People using them as commuters? That’s not the truck’s fault. Blame the soldier not the gun. Blame the craftsman not the tool. Etc.


  • Nope, you can buy it as a personal vehicle at any Ford dealership. Just walk in and buy one, and slap personal plates on it. You can’t just buy an f650 without calling ahead and ordering one. And even then it’s just the frame, drivetrain, and cab. No bed or anything unless you get add-ons. Definitely a different scenario.

    You don’t need a CDL if it’s 26,000lbs or lower. That’s the point I’m making. Just driving it, unloaded, without any heavy accessories like a dump bed or a rollback, a CDL is not required. So yes, someone could buy one of these and use it as their mall-crawler without a CDL. That may not be the intended use of the vehicle but it’s possible.
